Police in northern India have arrested five suspects in connection with a series of homemade bomb explosions this week near Amritsar’s Golden Temple, the holiest shrine in Sikhism. Gaurav Yadav, police deputy commissioner in the state of Punjab, told a news conference Thursday that the blasts on May 6, May 8 and near midnight on May 10 occurred outside the temple, which houses Sikhism’s holy scripture.
It has also witnessed violence in the past – the Indian army stormed the temple in 1984 and killed Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a leader of an outlawed separatist movement that seeks to establish a sovereign state for Sikhs called Khalistan. And last January, a man was allegedly beaten to death after entering the temple, grabbing a bejeweled ceremonial sword and swinging it over his head – before being overpowered by devotees.
